The S5's I heard 6 ot 7 years ago were really great above 1000 HZ or so. But there were issues in the 300 HZ to 1000 HZ range my better half caught first her having been a lower Clarinet playeer at in her early life. We changed amps and when we finally settled on a MC 275 MK IV she was happy. And I had to agree and Euphonium and bassoon sound really more life like, too. I have only heard A5 once and with the advanced tweeter I really didn't hear anything that different. The bass was not to my liking and I didn't feel like spending the day moving the speakers around wither. Changing to a MC 2301 helped a bunch, even though I am not a 2301 fan. Want to hear the new MC 2152. Probably would be a better match. But its just a guess.

Both are great but i prefer the a5. But as always, i want to
Listen to other speakers before deciding. the ff speakers Also pique my interest -yg vantage -audio solutions virtuoso -tad e1tx -tad me1 -graham ls5/5 Proac k6/8 The reason being i want a definite upgrade from my Present pmc mb2se which is a monster of a speaker. |

Have you read the Stereophile review on the A5? Lots of detail on the bass and overall sound.

So far I’m reading good reviews of the new B&W D4 series.
Price is way up, but worth a listen to compare. 802 or 801 would a good to compare with A5/S5 series. |

Yes. B&w is also a good option, but there are no stocks Yet, or at least a review that might give us an idea of The improvement sound wise vs the d3. I did demo’ed the d3 before deciding on the pmc mb2se. It was really good/fantastic with a mcintosh mono block. With my own vitus? It was average. |
